That means that before skulking off at 3:00 pm to drown the sorrows that were created by Monday through Thursday, it is now time for Random Website Friday. This week&#8217;s random site is <a href="http://www.breathingearth.net"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#ff6600;">Breathing Earth</span></a>.</p>

<p>Created by David Bleja, the site breaks down &#8211; by each country on the planet &#8211; the number of tonnes of C02 released into the atmosphere each minute as well as the current birth and death tolls from the moment you log in. Interesting &#8211; yes. Morbid &#8211; perhaps. However, it has enabled me to tell you that in the time it took me to write this post 1123 people were born and 530 died around the world. I just hope none of them were in my building, because sirens freak me out a bit.</p>
